STMicroelectronics launches Highly Integrated Intelligent High-Side Drivers for Automotive Applications

By OEM Update Editorial November 8, 2021 2:08 pm IST

The VN9D30Q100F and VN9D5D20FN from STMicroelectronics have a new generation of automotive intelligent switches.

Designed for high-side connection in applications powered from a 12V battery, the drivers simplify the hardware and software design of electronic control units (ECUs) and enhance system reliability.

Its one of the first in the market with digital current sensing among the fully digital on-chip diagnostic features. The new devices leverage ST’s latest-generation of VIPower M0-9 technology to combine an efficient 40V trench vertical MOSFET with 3.3V digital logic, and high-precision analogue circuitry in a 6mm x 6mm QFN package. Their compact dimensions and high integration save up to 40 percent of PCB area compared to comparable driver ICs already in the market.
